Overview
The current political crisis in Haiti is not making big news here in the US, with only brief updates being offered of significant events such as the resignation last Sunday of the Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe. Citizens have been protesting for months over the government’s failure to organize elections, now three years overdue. Many Senator’s terms are expiring in January, leaving the government without a valid parliament, and President Michel Martelly to rule by decree.
